Limited Colour Palettes

'Rain Dancers' by Diana Jones
I love a limited colour palette. I remember my educational texts from the late 70's with lots of gorgeous purple/pink spot colours with scratchie black and white illustrations. Do you remember when you started to learn to read? As a nutty competitive type, I strived to blitz through those suckers in no time flat. I was devastated when a new girl started and she was a reader in front of me. Oh, the injustice of it all!! My favourites from the four below were 'The Donkey's Egg' and 'The Sweet Porridge'. That purpley/pink is just so 70's fabulous.
